Delta Principals’ Cup excites Zenith Bank

Zenith Bank plc has commended the standard of play at the Delta State Principals’ Cup for Secondary Schools.

The tournament ends on Saturday and the Group Managing Director of Zenith Bank Peter Amangbo said the outfit was happy that the tournament had attracted heavy interest from the public.

“We have people who follow the progress of the competition and the report we have is that talented players good enough for the national teams are in the ongoing competition in Delta State,” Amangbo said.

He added, “The best way to support the youths is through sports and education. We are in this partnership to bring out young talents and give them a future.

“This competition is also good for the national coaches to identify some of the young ones who could be part of the country’s age-limit teams. Delta has a rich sports background and we felt is important that the secondary school football competition is revived.”

The state Commissioner for Basic and Secondary Education Chiedu Ebie commended the skills exhibited so far by the young players in the competition.
